“Join Pilot Jane, a fun and fearless airline captain, as she travels the world with her best friend Rose, a high-speed passenger jet. Together Jane and Rose have exciting adventures and form a perfect team, delivering their passengers safely to destinations as far afield as Alaska and Australia. But when disaster strikes and Rose falls ill, Jane is paired with ‘lean, mean flying machine’ Mighty Mitch. Can she still get the Queen to her party on time? Featuring a clever and courageous heroine, this action-packed rhyming story celebrates ‘Girl Power’ and shows what you can achieve if you work together. Fasten your seatbelt and get ready for take-off!”

I was emailed a while back and asked to be involved in the blog tour for this wonderful book – perfect for KS1! I happily accepted and I am so glad. This book went down a storm with the girls at school! I took it in to school to read to the girls in KS1 and it is incredible how many of them didn’t even know girls could be pilots! It’s important to break down stereotypes early on!

This book is wonderfully illustrated and it’s fun! It highlights so many wonderful ideas – working together is better than working against each other (Mitch learns this!), the power of determination (Jane is a lovely example of this!) and that women are awesome. It’s great for girl power! Girls, go out there and be whatever you want!

Thank you so much Faye from Big Sunshine Books for sending me a review copy of this book!
